Characteristics of African art: Art has to do with almost every aspect of life. There is no one “African” style. Most African art has a purpose other than just being looked at. Contemporary African artists may work in traditional modes, follow current trends or have no reference to other art at all.

Curiosity
about the unknown
has no boundaries.
Symbols, images, place and cultures merge.
time slips away.
The stars, the cards, the mystic vigil
may hold the answers.
By shifting the point of view
an inner spirit is released.
Free to create.
